Welcome to the CSS tutorial, we already covered css fonts, CSS backgrounds and CSS color. Today we will talk about CSS text, as we knew that CSS fonts can be used to format text, and CSS text will go hand to hand with CSS fonts and it will let you to control the text further improvements.

Text color – It will simply set the color of the text. You can use direct color name available in CSS, If you know the hex value, then can use it.

Text decoration– If you don’t want to see underlines in hyperlinks, then can use this property to remove the underlines.

Text transform – You can use this property to change the case of the letter, sentence, and paragraphs. You can quickly convert lower case to upper case and upper case to lower case letters.

Text align – It will help you to align your text to the right, center, or left.

Text indentation– You can avoid using <pre>, or (&nbsp), if you want to indent your paragraphs. Text indent will let you indent your paragraphs.

Tips to Remember

Text alignment is not for the vertical alignment, it means you can set horizontal alignment only.

If you want to align element vertically, then use vertical-align instead of text-align.

You can use justifiedas a text alignment property, which will make every line in equal width.

You can use RGB values in place of the hex or direct color name, while setting the color for the text.
